Yea!

Big victory for me yesterday.


Back around the end of January, my laptop died a sad, vicious death of natural causes, namely old age. Zarathustra's initials were carved on that baby. So, I roughed it the past few weeks, stealing time on the office computer while sadly allowing some of my obligations to float away from me. I had to streamline my efforts.
Enter my friends, the Leistens. A few years ago I was the employee at Trish's comic book store- Secret Identity. Even after the demise of the shoppe, we all grew to be friends. Honestly, I love those people. Upon hearing of my internet woes, they very kindly passed on their old store computer. Granted, the system had a bug, but it was still by far greater than the one I had just layed to rest. I did my research and found the right local techie to do the repair work, and he obliged to Nth degrees of complacency. He recovered just about every relevant file, as well as downloading software for playing and burning cd's and dvd's.

I not only restored my laptop, but it is now the best operating system I have ever been graced with. And with both a printer and scanner to play with, I cannot wait to reclaim my love of producing mini-comix.

In light of the writing gigs I have been stockpiling recently, offline and generally outside of comix, these programs are like manna.
I feel like I can see for the very first time.

I named this one mjolnir.
